[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 217210, member: 16749"] That's really a trait of digital photography compared to film. It no longer costs anything to take a picture. You don't have to buy film, and you don't have to pay to get it developed/printed, or for chemicals and equipment to develop it yourself. It used to be necessary to be frugal with one's picture-taking. 36 shots, and then you had to put in another roll of film. You had to get the film developed before you could see the results. With a digital camera, you can shoot hundreds of pictures, pick out a few that are worth keeping,and throw the rest away. I find I do this much more with my DSLR than with my cellphone camera or any of my lesser digital cameras. I've shot thousands of pictures with my D3200, in the roughly two and a half months I've owned it, but I haven't kept much more than a hundred or so of them. A lot of times, I take several pictures, perhaps as dozen or two, pick out one or two to post to StreamZoo or FaceBook, and then afterward delete all my local copies. Better ones, I post to Flickr where the full resolution is preserved. With my lesser digital cameras, I was much more inclined to keep every picture I took, but my D3200 takes such huge pictures, that I'd quickly run out of room to store them all if I insisted on keeping them.
